Link to ustream.tv stream of Oklahoma GOP convention

[sailingaway]

Couple of questions -

1) Where are the Romney/Santorum folks? Are they inside the convention center?
2) What if they are having another convention as our folks are holding ours, and then call theirs the legit one?
3) What is to stop an RNC empty suit from flying down and saying that the parking lot convention is not valid?

Of course they are going to say it is not valid, just as they did in Maine. We have video, and will need to present our case to media.

I wonder about 'another convention' too, but our guys tried to include everyone and if they didn't seems to me theirs is invalid. We have media on site, worst comes to worst this is not going to be a day the OK GOP establishment is proud of, and they will have explaining to do why this many delegates were shut out if they did that. But I think they didn't and plan to reconvene later as with NV GOP 08, not realizing that there we didn't have our act together to CONTINUE the convention so a new one needed to be called. Here it didn't. And it remained on location where the call was set, etc etc.

If Mitt had one shred of decency in him he would step down in light of the blatant illegality and cheating that has gone on this primary season.

1) Most of them left after they unsuccessfully attempted to adjourn the convention. They failed to demonstrate the [EDIT: majority] necessary for adjournment, so the convention was able to continue as a quorum of delegates stayed behind.
2) There is no other convention. The so-called "rump" convention is the valid convention, conducted under the rules of the Call to Convention and with a valid quorum.
3) All this was taped, so there is indisputable evidence on this point. RNC won't be able to invalidate it.

@WMassRepub It might be funny if they didn't know the rules, but they do, and the OK GOP now belongs to Ron Paul. #okgop #nvgop r3VOLution

Stop Sen. Nelson! ‏ @StopSenNelson
#OKGOP According to the lot convention, the @RonPaul "conservative values" slate carries. At least 34/43 delegates are Paul supporters.

This thread has 17,700 views! I think it's safe to assume that we have outsiders keeping tabs. Hi lurkers!!!

we have jumped to 22K from 17.7K in past 30 minutes or so. I've never seen a thread with so many views in one day. I think we are being CISPA'ed and NSA'ed HARD!!!!

2. They are not since you can not change locations without a certain amount of days leway to inform people of the location

This is the key point. An alternate convention CANNOT be held anywhere else. The convention we are watching is the one and only valid convention.

Does anyone know the name of the man chairing the assembly?

one of the many flaws of those bills is they can't screen all the data they have. Let them have fun going through this one.

Hi everyone! Hi Romney. Hi GOP establishment. Hi other Lurkers!

Look folks, let's make one thing clear.

It only requires a majority to adjourn. (unless there is some rule in the OK State GOP rules book---which I highly doubt).

Anyone who claims it requires 2/3rds really undermines their credibility.


That said, I still think they improperly adjourned b/c the vote was close and it was not counted, so it is really debatable as to whether the majority actually voted to adjourn.

Hold on, hold on.. I have a video that applies to all the recent results...



Yep.

These people know what they are doing. Everything is proceeding in an orderly manner. They have a parliamentarian and they are consulting him.

How? Wasn't it 25 at-large at stake here ?
